How do you get the middle line going vertical in your abs like a valley?

My abs just do not have that valley going vertical. Is it Bodyfat?Exercise type? Reps and weight?

Do A LOT of stomach vacuums
Whether is psychosomatic or actually helps, I notice my cuts getting deeper as my cut goes along

Of course, diet has a lot to do with it
Also, make sure your diet is on point

And forget crunching movements
Anti rotation (aka twisting), is better for overall ab development

Source: I had no obliques until I incorporated anti rotation for a solid year. It's helped posture and lower back pain when deadlift ingredients. Aka it helped posture as well
 
Lower your BF% and the definition will come out. If you do core and compound exercises regularly, you'd probably be surprised what your abs actually look like. You're just not going to see them as clearly and prominently until you drop water and fat around the midsection.

Yes I have incorporated squats and front squats. Which I really feel in my lower abs. More so the front squats. Also I have been doing oblique rotations but thats it. I think the squats are key, especially heavier ones.

This is actually solid advice right here. Vacuums are great and i personally feel they made a huge difference in my midsection also helped tighten my waist line down to a size 30 from a 32. Anti rotation is great as well but i also do incorporate crunches and leg lifts into my ab workouts.
 
What's up @jJjburton! Answer to your question is you stop running that big boy cycle you are on! ;) Up your tren, increase cardio and protein.
LOL.....I will take in to considerations some things that you said... i.e tren protein.....

But seriously you think cardio will help? fasted?

I was doing vacuums but they are weird. You do 3 sets of 20 seconds or somthing?

Do you do them during your ab workout or seperate?

How many times a day?
 
Yes i do them with my ab workout but also at home and throughout the day. I always hold my vacuum in till i can't any longer. Its hard af at first especially if you aren't very lean.

Agreed. Usually a 20-30 second hold, many times per day.
Force out all your breath, while pulling your abs in as deep as possible. Then just go about your business while breathing normally, BUT keep those abs held in for a minimum 20-30 secs. Each time.

Will result in a smaller waist because it tightens up the ab wall. Good for correcting posture and strengthening the lower back as well.

Theres a classic photo of Arnold sitting on a chair in side profile doing a vacuum. His waist is tiny as f..
 
I was lean and had very little visible abs, I had to hit them hard for a couple months to get them popping. 2 or 3 times a week. I do the crunch seat thing, no idea what it's called honestly, a lot of gyms have them. I'll do 60 to 80 reps there. 30 reps of leg ups on the dip rack. 30 reps of leg ups while incline. 30 decline crunches, then about 40 reps on obliques. I do as many as possible and take a break as needed. As many sets as it takes. I do vaccums as well But haven't really noticed and progress in doing them
